Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 627 The war is related to the situation of the DPRK
"Are you saying that Wang Haoyi feels guilty and wants to escape?" Feng Ziying didn't believe it. "Didn't he write to Zhou Yin and Mi Heng before, asking them to come to rescue him? Doesn't he want to defend Xiong County?"
"It turns out that this is indeed the case, but Wang Haoyi may have become aware of the large-scale movement of the Beijing camp southward, and Wang Haoyi became a little scared."
Wu Yaoqing controlled Feng Ziying's own intelligence channels, which were separate from those of the Criminal Department and Long Jinwei.
Feng Ziying even handed over the Wang family's White Lotus Sect contact channel that she established in Linqing many years ago to Wu Yaoqing, so some intelligence clues even came from Wang Haoyi's side.
"But he still has more than 10,000 rebel troops in his hands, how can he escape?" Feng Ziying's eyes were deep, "Does he plan to abandon them? That means that he and his brothers are fighting for the position of the White Lotus Holy Sect.
Out."
"Sir, do you think Wang Haoyi and his like are stupid?" Wu Yaoqing shook his head, "Would he not feel that the situation has begun to change since you came, after the Battle of Laishui and the Battle of Renqiu?
,…”
"Now is not the time to fight for the bullshit White Lotus Holy Sect, but to be able to escape first. Of course, if you can lead some of your loyal subordinates who follow you to escape, that would be the best. As for the rest, do you think he
Are you still so obsessed with wishful thinking? Even Wang Haoli, who is at Zhending, may not have such extravagant hopes, right?"
Feng Ziying realized the seriousness of the problem, and the arrangements had not yet been put in place. If Wang Haoyi ran away, wouldn't all the preparations he had made be in vain?
"We cannot allow Wang Haoyi to flee north easily. Let You Shiwei send a small group of cavalry to bypass Xiong County and bluff on the line from Xiong County to Anzhou to interfere with Wang Haoyi's determination to flee north. As long as he is delayed for three to five days, he will run again. I
It's a great thing, it saves me the chance to attack the fortified city of Anzhou."
Feng Ziying suddenly made up her mind and immediately gave the order.
A battle of wits and courage began to unfold across the entire Beizhi land.
You Shiwei's cavalry was not large in number, so when they bypassed Xiong County, they would face supply problems. Of course, Zhou Yin's rebel cavalry was also not large in number, so the two sides immediately started a chase on this front.
In order to frighten Wang Haoyi, who lived in Anzhou, from escaping easily out of the city, Feng Ziying also asked You Shiwei to build up enough momentum at all costs to make Wang Haoyi feel the possible risks of fleeing north now, so that he could place his hope in Zhou.
The Indian army came south to support them, and it seemed that it would not affect the overall situation in three to five days.
It was not until seven days later that Wang Haoyi made up his mind to lead his army towards Beixiong County. However, at this time, the troops from the Beijing camp heading south were already basically in place.
He slapped the top of the city with great frustration, and the tall man with a broad mouth and a strong body couldn't help but become furious.
"Didn't I write to him to ask him not to act rashly for the time being? He didn't leave when it was time to leave. At this time, it was obvious that the officers and soldiers had followed him. Why did he still have to leave Anzhou City? It's okay now, he is surrounded there.
Should we save it or not?"
The man on the side is naturally Zhou Yin.
He had been urging Wang Haoyi before that if he wanted to come to Xiong County, he should quickly abandon the baggage and food and go north before the officers and soldiers arrived, or he could stay in Anzhou for the time being. After all, Anzhou City has a high wall and thick bags and baggage and food.
It's enough to keep it for two or three months.
However, Wang Haoyi used various excuses to evade the delay and delayed leaving the city until three days ago to head north, but it was already too late.
When he heard that the number of official cavalry between Anzhou and Xiongxian increased sharply from the usual three to five hundred to two to three thousand, Zhou Yin knew that Wang Haoyi could not escape.
Wang Haoyi could no longer cross this short stretch of less than a hundred miles.
Of course, Zhou Yin was confident that if he immediately led the cavalry to attack the Beijing cavalry that had just blocked Wang Haoyi's troops, he might be able to rescue Wang Haoyi himself.
But in this case, Wang Haoyi's more than 10,000 soldiers would only fall apart. This situation was something Zhou Yin did not dare to bear.
With the loss of more than 10,000 rebels, how long can Xiong County hold on?
It was originally hoped that Anzhou, Hexiong County, and Renqiu would be the horns of each other. Even without the support of Bazhou Miheng behind them, a relatively stable situation could be maintained.
But when Ren Qiu lost his position, the triangle suddenly collapsed, and Wang Haoyi was even more frightened. If he had known that he should not be limited by his feelings and took over Ren Qiu directly, he would not have been like this.
What's the point of regretting it now?
Zhou Yin, who was full of trouble and anxiety, punched the wall again with hatred.
To save or not to save is the question.
Although he has a lot of troops, if he wants to fight in the field, especially such a large-scale battle, I am afraid that this is what the army is looking forward to.
They even used this method to force Wang Haoyi into this situation step by step, that is, to force himself to fight them. But if they didn't save him, they were afraid that Wang Haoyi wouldn't be able to hold on for more than three days.
If you want to save, how to save?
I'm afraid we still have to communicate with Bazhou, but time is so tight that it's too late. When Bazhou soldiers arrive, I'm afraid Wang Haoyi's head will be hanging on the top of Anzhou City.
For Feng Ziying, when Wang Haoyi was forced out of Anzhou City like a rabbit, the outcome of this battle was already doomed.
It is an impossible task for more than 10,000 rebel troops to escape safely into Xiongzhou in the face of the official army with a huge cavalry advantage.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of Wang Haoyi's rebellious army has been proven in the Battle of Renqiu. Perhaps it can fight with the wind when the field battle is advantageous, and it can still completely persist in the city defense battle, but in the field battle or siege battle, then
Not worth mentioning anymore.
"Waqiao Pass is a good place. It's not far or close. I want to see how Zhou Yin plans to fight this battle." Feng Ziying heard that Wang Haoyi's main force of more than 10,000 people fled into Waqiao Pass. She was not worried but happy, "
If it were normal, I would be really worried that Zhou Yin would think that there is no hope of rescue and would not come to save him, but now Waqiao Pass is a world-famous pass, why are you, Zhou Yin, unwilling to save us?"
Waqiao Pass is located twenty miles south of Xiongzhou City. It can be said that it is very close. The cavalry can reach it in a short time, but it is separated by the Yishui River and there are many continuous swamps.
In a sense, this is indeed a good defensive location and is not conducive to large-scale military deployment, but there is a premise for this, that is, there needs to be a solid logistics support foundation behind Waqiao Pass.
Moreover, the defense direction of Waqiao Pass is mainly aimed at the north. It was a barrier used by the Song Dynasty to use the unavoidable swamp waters to block the Liao army from going south. Yijin Pass and Yukou Pass are known as the three passes that blocked the Liao army from invading south. The defense system is not aimed at the south, but at
It's the north.
But now the direction has been reversed. The south including Anzhou has been captured by the army, and the army's attack direction is from south to north.
What's more, although Xiong County is under the control of the rebels, the entire plain to the west of Xiong County is within the attack range of the official army. As a result, the defensive capabilities of Waqiao Pass are somewhat lacking.
"If I were Zhou Yin, I would decisively abandon Xiong County and retreat directly to Bazhou..."
Before Wang Wenyan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Feng Ziying: "It's useless for them to evacuate there now, so what if they evacuate to Bazhou? How long can Bazhou, Baoding (county), and Wen'an hold on? Maybe they are the only one
The opportunity is to decisively abandon Xiongxian, Anzhou, Renqiu and Bazhou before the official army moves south on a large scale, go south at starry night, break through between Lixian and Suning, and join up with the southern rebels. That way
There may be a chance, but once Renqiu recovers, they will have no hope at all. Their destruction will be a matter of time, but time is also a matter of time for me."
Wang Wenyan laughed and said, "Sir, actually you don't have to worry about resolving the war situation before the end of the year. Mr. Yuan has spent more than a year getting the situation like this. You are here to clean up the mess. It takes a year to solve the problem, but you can't do it."
No one dares to say that you did a bad job. Four months is indeed too tight."
"Wen Yan, this area is indeed nothing. I am sure that the fighting will be resolved before the end of September. However, the insurgents in the central part are not simple. There are also insurgents in the south. The more troublesome ones are the three southern prefectures, Shunde, Weihui, Huaiqing and Guide.
, I have authorized Liu Baichuan to clear out the rebel forces in Kaifeng area first, and clear out Bailian south of the Yellow River first, and then we can work together to quickly solve the problem after I have solved the three southern prefectures..."
Feng Ziying said leisurely: "The land of Hebei in the Central Plains is the beloved land of the Northern Territory. If it is completely destroyed, it will not be able to recover in three to five years. Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Shandong have all been tortured in the past few years. The weather is not good to begin with.
, encountered another military disaster, the northern scholars were all angry, and their right to speak in the court was also suppressed by the Jiangnan scholars. If I didn't quickly win back in Hebei, it would be difficult for the Qi Division to take the position of chief assistant.
"
Wang Wenyan's eyes lit up, "Ye Xiang is about to retire, but he is still young and in good health."
"In the past few years, the Northern Territory has not been going well. Scholars in both the government and the public believe that he is responsible, especially for his appeasement and connivance towards Jiangnan. The scholars in the Northern Territory were already very dissatisfied, and Huguang, Southwest and Lingnan felt neglected, so he is also now
What he has lost to everyone is just good looks. In addition, after Tang and Mu entered the cabinet, they kept stabbing him in the back. He has been the chief assistant for more than ten years and it is time for him to change. He will take a break and come back this year.
It's normal. Of course, this is just a possibility. Ye Xianggao is not good at it. For now, Qi Shi still has no way to replace him."
Only then did Wang Wenyan realize that war is closely related to politics.
Scholars from Huguang, Southwest and Lingnan began to join forces and gradually became a force that could compete with the scholars from Northland and Jiangnan.
If the northern scholars form an alliance with the scholars from Huguang, Southwest, and Lingnan, then the situation of the court can indeed be changed.
What's more, the Jiangnan scholars are not united now. Tang and Mu are very dissatisfied with being marginalized after joining the cabinet, and they constantly make trouble for Ye Xianggao, which also makes Ye Xianggao mentally exhausted.
In other words, this battle is even related to changes in the entire political situation.
